Police: Lowell dad, son dealt heroin

LOWELL -- A 43-year-old Lowell man and his 20-year-old son are both being held on bail after they were arrested by Lowell police as part of an ongoing drug investigation in the city.

In Lowell District Court on Wednesday, Joseph R. Post, 20, of 41 W. L St., second floor, was ordered held on $2,500 cash bail on charge of possession of a Class A drug. He also had a warrant for distribution of a Class B drug.

His father, Joseph W. Post, 43, of the same address, was arrested on charges of possession of a Class A drug and Class B drug. His bail was set at $1,000 cash.

Police allege that between January and February, a confidential informant told police there was alleged drug dealing by the occupants of 41 W. L. Street second floor.

The confidential informant identified the Posts -- father and son -- and a female who were allegedly dealing drugs out of the apartment. Police then did a "controlled purchase'' of heroin from Joseph R. Post.

Lowell police allege that on Feb. 10, the Lowell police Special Investigation Section members, were monitoring the 41 W. L. Street, second floor, apartment as part of an ongoing drug investigation.

At 6 p.m., police said they saw Denicourt go to the stairs leading to the second-floor apartment and leave minutes later, police allege.
